Your reading journal will be collected before you turn in your Independent Reading Project. You should use your word processing program to create this journal: it will make it easy for you to update as you read. Reading Journals should include the following four sections:
Quotations
Keep an on-going list of significant quotations/passages from your novel. By the time you finish reading, you should have at least eight quotations in this section of your reading journal.
Glossary
Keep an on-going list of words/concepts from your novel with which you are unfamiliar. Look up those words/concepts and write out their definitions. By the time you finish reading, you should have at least fifteen words/concepts with their definitions in this section of your journal.
Questions
Keep an on-going list of questions you have about the novel. For example, you might wonder what actually happened to the boy with the mulberry birthmark in the second chapter of Lord of the Flies. By the time you finish reading, you should have at least ten questions in this section of your journal.
